Shiphandling simulations based on available technology have been developed over the last 3 decades. Simulations have been used in a variety of contexts from training vessel crews and analyzing marine casualties to the evaluation of buoy placement. The use of simulation in the design process for modifying or developing channels and waterways is the most technologically demanding of these applications. The audience for which this report was prepared consists of waterway designers, naval architects interested in the scientific issues involved with predicting the forces acting on a ship as it maneuvers in a constrained waterway, simulation experts knowledgeable in the computational and graphical presentation aspects of the technique, members of the maritime and general public who participate in the waterway design process, and decision makers affecting the use of simulation. Understanding shiphandling simulation for waterway design requires a simultaneous understanding of the science and practice of simulation and the context of waterway design in which simulation is used.
